Six Months Later...

Dear Alison,

How are you? I hope you are doing fine because I can't say the same thing about myself. I thought I was over you, you know?

It was getting easier but it's been six months since you left and I can't bear with the thought that you will come back. You can't do that to me.

This letter is not a normal one. It has all my messed up feelings that you left me with and your return after such a long time will make them even more shattered.

I have a place for you in my heart but it hurts so much to think about how are you doing. If you are kissing another mouth, hugging another boy...

I'm such a hypocrite because I have been doing the exact same thing. Caroline finally managed to soften me up.

I'm pretty much making out with her.

I'm so sorry, Alison. I know how hard it is to see your ex with one of your closest friends. You have inflicted the same pain on me but it's not some sick revenge.

Carol has been truly helping me get over you. She is good for me.

I love you and I don't think I will ever stop but I actually like Caroline.

Her laughs make my day lighter like you did. I feel like I'm using her to forget you but she says she's okay with it. As long as I'm happy with her.

I think she actually likes me back.

But enough about me and Carol.

Cody has been the same. Hooking up with a different girl each party. Total player.

Well, I can't say that about Tristan. He has been getting further away from us, a little every day. Calling his mysterious girl through Skype whenever he can, never letting Cody or I say at least a hi to her. I tried to make him more talkative but I just don't what's going on. He must be in love.

Winter break was fine. I spent Christmas with just my aunt because my dad had to go to New York for a business meeting. He left a present under the tree to make up for his absence.

The newest PlayStation there was.

What a great gift, right?

I would prefer his fucking presence for once.

New Year's Eve was really good. Carol, Cody, Tristan and I went to a party at Brad's house to celebrate the new year that was coming. Since my aunt had gone to her hometown to see some distant relatives, I didn't feel guilty about leaving her alone. There were a lot of people that I knew there that were drinking and having a good time.

Do you know who else was there?

Matt.

He had the guts to appear in that party like nothing happened. I'm glad he got transferred because I couldn't keep myself from beating him up every damn time.

Seeing him reminded me of Caroline's party. How terrible it was.

You know I never explained why I was mad at you. I really believed you were already cheating on me, a day before.

I could never forget that moment.

You were talking to Matt behind his car, your back leaning on the door. One day before Carol's party. 

I wasn't supposed to be there that night. I wasn't going to play because I wasn't captaining it yet. The trials hadn't started but I went there to see you.

Surprise you after your cheerleader's presentation.

I got so pissed with your conversation, the way he looked at you. I was behind the wall, next to his black Mercedes where you two were talking.

"Thanks for doing this, Matt. I don't want Scott finding out what we are hiding between us." It's all you said but it still managed to piss me off.

Were you cheating on me?

That's all I kept thinking that night. I didn't stay to hear Matt's response or the sound of you two making out in his car door.

I punched my wall when I got home. Tears and more tears left my eyes while in the shower. I couldn't believe it. How could you have done something so cruel? So heartless?

But then I remembered what you were like when everyone was watching us, a cold queen bee.

You really became that horrible person you always faked to be.

That's why I didn't cry after breaking up with you that night. I tried giving you a chance but when Caroline told me what happened after you passed out, everything made sense.

I was already heartbroken. What happened at the party was just the final shot to make me lose it.

Make me end such a beautiful relationship that we had.

Seeing you so pretty next to Matt is a picture that makes me lose my sleep every night.

How you were wearing his shirt.

It still hurts, it still haunts me despite my attempts at making it go away.

I just wanted to let it out, you know? Writing everything down has been helping me so much getting through that night.

That horrible Midnight.

But I hope that 2018 really bring good things for you and me. We are in a need of something good happening to us.

How are you doing? Enjoying Chicago?

Yours truly, Scott

{A/N: Hey guys! So in this chapter, you have learned some interesting things... How Scott is getting closer to Caroline and why did he assume that Ali was cheating on him with Matt. Did he do the right thing by breaking up with her? If it was opposite situations, you would want her to break up with him, am I right?

Leave your thoughts and don't forget to vote! Click the orange star there to make my day happier! Hope you liked it... Your feedback truly means a lot.

I entered Midnight in the Wattys!! What do you think? Do we have a chance of actually winning?

Lots of love, Ally}
